"The Day Begins At Sunset" Poetry Release Party
“The Day Begins At Sunset” (Nordic Moon Press, 2023) comes out of the Nordic studies and practices around the primstav calendar. Written just before, during, and after the global pandemic and political uprisings in Minneapolis, “The Day Begins At Sunset” chronicles the arc of spiritual expression and process during these unsettling times.”
Greetings friends and family. You might know me from my Nordic root musical recordings, Winter Solstice ritual shows, and Iron Age rune and mythic studies. I am a Minneapolis-based Nordic folk musician, dancer, storyteller, and author of Norwegian-American descent. I have included poetry in my performance and recordings but this is my very first published volume! I began writing these poems on the “Summer Side” of the Primstav, April 14, 2019. Encouraged and supported by my patrons at Patreon, I continued to write poems based on the saint days as process for what was happening around me in Minneapolis, 2020-2023.
The Scandinavian (Norwegian) Primstav, is a transitional calendar marking pre-Christian Scandinavian agricultural practices alongside the newly-required church and saint days of the Catholic tradition.
Tonight, I am hosted by Lynette Reini-Grandell, Finnish American poet and author of a new memoir. My long-time collaborator, Lynette will share some of her new work. Also sharing some of his new poems is Morrey Nellis, another Finnish-American poet who frequently joins Kari’s Winter Solstice celebrations. (Save the Date: December 17, 2023 at BLBT)
Books will be available at the show for a reduced price!
Editor and fellow poet and musician David de Young has been helping me hone my writing since our first collaboration in 2002. Our releases include my best-selling rune book and other Nordic spiritual writings. Residing in Finland with his family, David launched Nordic Moon Press to continue producing his and Tauring’s writing.

The Mysterious Old Radio Workshop
Welcome to the Mysterious Old Radio Workshop; experiments in staged audio drama from The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society. Join society members Shannan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster for an eclectic lineup of original audio plays and offbeat classics.
In September, we present a genre-crossing night of adventure, murder, and time-travel, presented in the style of an old-time radio broadcast, complete with vintage commercials and live sound effects. It’s an “entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by” (Cherry and Spoon) brought to life by veteran Twin Cities performers using their voices to paint a picture so vivid that if you close your eyes you can see the action in your mind's eye.” (Stages of Minnesota)
The plays:
“Get to the Castle, Part 1” from Grey Ghost and the Agents of Floor 10 (premiere): Eric Webster, creator of Shade’s Brigade, brings you an all-new adventure serial, Grey Ghost and the Agents of Floor 10! The first mission of the newly-formed team of agents takes them to a castle in Austria with a notorious and terrifying secret!
"The 13th Sound" from Suspense (1947): A widow is haunted by the murder of her husband. An experiment in psychology and sound from radio’s theater of thrills.
"Nikola Tesla and the Pigeon of Destiny" from Strange History (live premiere): Joshua English Scrimshaw brings you the untold and mostly untrue story of Nikola Tesla’s final confrontation with his time-traveling arch-foe, Thomas Edison!
PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR THE MYSTERIOUS OLD RADIO LISTENING SOCIETY:
“Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster have this down cold — not just the technical aspect, but the tone… Chilling as it might be to experience these tales (complete with old-school ads) alone in the dark, it’s much more fun to experience them with a crowd.” -City Pages
“An artisanal, old-school way of making entertainment... The fun is in watching these fine actors work almost exclusively with their voices … and to see them create a sepia-toned world with handmade sound effects.” - Pioneer Press
“The glow of the old radio sets the stage and seeing how the sound effects are created adds so much more than just hearing them. The cast of Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, Eric Webster, and Shanan Custer are all extremely talented and hilarious, taking on multiple voices and characters. If you have recently become interested in radio or audio drama through podcasts, why not see a recreation of how radio drama was at the beginning with The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society.” -Twin Cities Stages
“This show is an entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by, that of the radio drama. The creators of this show have a podcast of the same name… and their love for and knowledge of the genre is evident… There's a reason these radio horror shows were so popular, and happily they continue to exist in some form today thanks to Ghoulish Delights.” -Cherry and Spoon
ABOUT THE MORLS:
The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society performed their first staged old-time radio recreation in 2016 at the Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater in Minneapolis. Since then, they have appeared at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, Daleko Arts in New Prague, and the Wabasha Street Caves in Saint Paul. Their recreations were also featured monthly from 2017 to 2019 at the James J. Hill Center and from 2020 to 2022 at Park Square Theater in Saint Paul. The MORLS is thrilled to call the Bryant-Lake Bowl their new home!
ABOUT THE PODCAST:
The Society’s live performances are inspired by the podcast of the same name. The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society Podcast revisits the great crime, horror and suspense shows from the golden age of radio, including tales from Suspense, Lights Out, Quiet Please, The Shadow, and more. Each episode features a classic, or maybe-not-so classic story from the mysterious old-time radio vault, complete with historical notes and nerdy trivia. At the end of each podcast, your hosts, Tim, Joshua and Eric discuss the merits of the story and decide whether or not it stands the test of time.

Reverend Matt’s Monster Science: Music of Monsters of Music of Monsters
Monster Science First Thursdays returns with “Music of Monsters of Music of Monsters!”
Reverend Matt is again joined by the amazing Irene Weinhagen, performing four new, original songs about the monsters of myth and cinema - man-headed lions and seals that change into humans and insect kaiju and more! With deep dives into their lore (and comedy jokes) by Reverend Matt!
Reverend Matt – once called a combination of David Attenborough and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark in MPR – played by local comedian Matthew Kessen, is the star of “Reverend Matt’s Monster Science” (‘part science, part comedy, all monsters’), a multimedia series of deep studies of the lore of monsters, infused with comedy jokes. It has won a Golden Lanyard at the 2023 Minnesota Fringe Festival, Best Solo Show at the Tucson Fringe Festival twice, and Best of Minnesota at the 2020 MN Webfest. And it’s been called “effective, educational, funny, moving” by Cherry and Spoon, and Single White Fringe Geek said of it, “I could not stop grinning the whole time Rev. Matt was talking.”
Irene Weinhagen is an actor, singer/songwriter, and student at St. Paul Conservatory of Performing Arts. Irene has performed with Comedy Suitcase, Steppingstone Theater, Twin Cities Horror Festival, Minnesota Fringe Festival, and other venues around the Twin Cities. Irene’s debut album "Do Better" is available on all streaming platforms.

It's Still Happening
Mic Crenshaw, Moe Bowstern, and Jay Nevilles come together to discuss the past, present and future implications and impact of anti-racist and anti-fascist movement work.
Moe and Mic are co-producers and co-authors of the It Did Happen Here Podcast and book.
The book and podcast are an anti-fascist people's history. Much of the content of these works is focused on Portland Oregon in the late 1980s and early 90s. What happened in Portland Oregon, in the wake of the racist murder of an Ethiopian immigrant named Mulugeta Seraw, in 1988, was inspired and influenced by youth movements born in Minneapolis, in the Uptown Punk scene in particular. Anti-Racist Action was founded by the Minneapolis Baldies and youth from Chicago and other midwestern cities. It spread to Portland and beyond.
Jay Nevilles and Mic Crenshaw are co-founders of the Baldies. There will be live music by Mic Crenshaw, a panel with Jay, Mic, and Moe, and a Q&A with the audience.

Loud Sun, Spaceport, Planet Which
Come on down to see some amazing local alternative groups. Almost a repeat of the Spaceport record release show that happened with Loud Sun at Bryant Lake Bowl last spring.
Loud Sun is a personal favorite of mine. Fronted by the multi-instrumentalist Andrew Jansen, also a member of Crimes, Loud Sun enchants the listener with the texture rich/lo-fi songwriting.
Spaceport came on the scene recently but have made quite the entrance with their new record "Window Seat". Coincidentally, "Window Seat" was mixed by the very Andrew Jansen. Although Spaceport has three core members, anticipate more instrumentation for this upcoming show.
Planet Which will do a heavily improvised, drone-heavy set to open the night. An iteration of the more widely known, Don Quis, Planet Which formed as a result of the core songwriter leaving the group in the midst of making an EP. The EP is coming out this fall under Don Quis. In the meantime, here Planet Which jams out and drones for the first time in front of an audience at Bryant Lake Bowl Theater.
Tickets are $15. Doors open at 7:30PM.
